Meet Jah

About

Meet Jah refers to a spam comment on TikTok about late rapper XXXTentacion (Jahseh Onfroy). The catchphrase originates from a viral TikTok slideshow that compared rapper Ken Carson to XXXTentacion, calling Carson a "copy" of Onfroy by ending with an image of him reading, "Meet Jah." The slideshow was perceived as cringy, leading to its usage online. Meet Jah memes and the comment trend notably riffed on the precursor Jah Pull Off meme.
